Okay so Christmas is here or will be in a few hours for most of us. So lets get the Secret Santa thing rolling. Members were told to exchange gifts with other members. Lets say member A is sending one to member B. Member A will have sent a code with the gift to member B. Member B can now open the gift, and post pics of it along with the code member A sent.

Now for those naughty people who didn't send anything.

Warning: Spoilers inside!

YOU WILL BE BANNED.

But in all seriousness not cool, and I'll probably be giving you negative feedback in the Trading Forums unless I get a good excuse. PM me if you didn't get a gift but sent one. (Oh and if you sent your gift late, also PM me. No punishment for the postal system being late.)

:/ I think we're going to have to promote it earlier if we do this again in 2013. And be serious about reminding people to ship before December begins. Way early is a far better outcome than even a day too late.

oh secret santa thing sounds cool but i never heard anything about it guess next year ill give it a shot. what kind of things get sent and are we talking bout giving random people are address and what not.

I'm sorry I was so late shipping my packet, circumstances conspired against me But it's on its way.

Mine came from Canada. The code word was INGOT, and it's a bento box and a bunch of dividers and picks for it, and a postcard and a greeting card and a Canadian moose quarter (of a dollar. Not a quarter of a moose). I love it

Awwww... shoot. I knew I forgot something... I didn't stick my secret word in the package (it was Umbra). The recipient should be able to connect it based on my username and shipped name alone, though.

But anyway, onto the package I received from my lovely secret santa. The word included was Tapioca, and this is what I received:

Dr. Doom & Spidey capsule head ball figures. Their heads were ball capsules that popped open and contained their body parts. Their head then snaps back together into a ball shape and forms the head around the neck of the body. Really, really cool, I love em! Also included 2 American Gold Eagle Coin (1933 double eagle) replicas! These are also friggin awesome! I work for a jewelry shop, and we follow gold trends/futures all the time, I know exactly the role these things played in the past year and the stories surrounding the coin. Not only that, but I personally think it is one of the most beautifully designed coins in American history! Very awesome!

Dr. Doom & Spidey fit in perfectly on my shelf of adorable stuff:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH SECRET SANTA!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

Now...onto [M]artin's gift...to me!

Warning: Spoilers inside!

Oh, what's this? It's wrapped and everything! Kick ass! Awesome drawing too! The paper was embossed and very thick. The bow was very nice as well. (I saved the paper

Clear(er) shot of the paper

Time to unwrap this beautiful present! Holy crap! It's a Melting Clock! Iconic of the late and famous Salvador Dali. I actually made it a project of mine about five years ago to find out everything about Mister Dali I could after watching the movie Frida. It's funny. I actually contemplated getting one of these from Thinkgeek. I'm glad I changed my mind!

Here it is at it's temporary home: The top of the Entertainment Tower. I'll be finding a permanent home for it soon in my bedroom.

Close up of the drawing. Cool beans!

I am Extremely happy with my Secret Santa gift! Thanks [M]artin! This is actualy the best present I didn't buy myself this year
